We are thrilled to welcome
author Natalie Jenner back to My Jane Austen Book Club to discuss her
latest novel, Austen at Sea. Known for her captivating historical
fiction and her deep love of all things Austen, Natalie Jenner’s new book takes
readers on a transatlantic adventure filled with literary intrigue, romance,
and the enduring spirit of Jane Austen herself.
In Austen at Sea, readers will follow the Stevenson sisters and the Nelson brothers as they journey to England in 1865, lured by the promise of a rare Austen artifact and the chance to meet her last surviving brother, Sir Francis Austen. Alongside historical figures like Louisa May Alcott, Jenner masterfully weaves a tale of adventure and self-discovery, all under the guiding influence of Austen’s legacy.
